The car got the attention. But beneath TechLinked's most-watched upload this week sits a more practical question: how much control do buyers really have over their technology?
In "WTF TESLA WHY," Riley Murdock moves from Tesla's thruster-assisted Roadster demonstration to the proposed Power to the Players Act, which aims to give consumers digital video game ownership rights. Between those subjects come reports of spyware delivered through online ads and Nvidia's RTX Spark laptops, whose benchmark results make for a less spectacular kind of hardware discussion. The episode includes a sponsored commercial segment.
That roundup has reached roughly 445,000 views and carries the strongest daily momentum of the channel's recent uploads. "Who is this even for?" follows, opening with Apple's Home View smart-home hub before turning to a reported halt in RTX 5090 production. Two shorter news uploads, about an AI music streaming scam and a ransomware-recovery company, complete the week's four-post slate.
TechLinked added about 1.2 million views over the week, while its subscriber count stayed unchanged. Its daily viewing is now nearly twice its usual level. Nearby in the gadget neighborhood, Hardware Canucks also has an elevated daily audience, while LGR is running below its usual daily viewing level.
The Roadster supplies the spectacle, but Murdock's roundup has room for something much closer to everyday ownership: whether buying a digital game should mean getting to keep it.
